Gregory Packaging

Working at Gregory Packaging does not provide job security and living with constant insecurity can be stressful and can be more harmful to your health working there.  Lack of job description; not qualified for the position. The company is managed by one owner who cannot manage himself, much less a company. Management does not have a clue as to the definition of performance versus behavior.
The lack of discipline and direction, everyone seems to be not working as a team.
The Owner can’t deal with intelligent employees who disagree or have their own thoughts/opinions.
 He is dishonest and overbearing in expectations. They do not communicate expectations or goals.
Ignores people and/or plays favorites with staff – superstar today, black hole the next.
Loves brownnosers and tattletales
Lack of integrity, breaks promises
Complains and does not solve problems
The Owners can’t handle the truth or perceptions about the organization
Uses people without reward or recognition

Place is a disaster, completely unsafe and they care for nothing but production numbers which they can't even keep high due to their lack of care. You will struggle with the same issues for weeks on end. Maintenance gets overworked due to the consistent issues and its "nothing new" to the operators, poor operators will struggle with the same issue every single day. Almost all operators there are temps that don't speak english so it's difficult to communicate or train them. operators who have been there for years still need assistance to perform certain duties. They can't keep leads or supervisors because they're not heard by management. They'll complain about the issues they had throughout the shift thats always happened even before ever working there. Everything goes "through the owners" so nothing will ever get fixed.  If this was your only option for employment, I would still recommend not to take it. 

Starting here was a bit hectic, but after the initial training, everything went at a fast pace. Learning hands-on was a great experience. Learning about the machines and troubleshooting was very rewarding. There were a number of machines to learn from and supervisors were keen on all productive aspects(quality control, downtime, and breaks).  A typical day would consist of different tasks depending on what management saw fit for production; one day would be operating one machine, and the next would be training a new hire. The training was definitely was the hardest part of this job; being able to operate the machine while also communicating with the new hire and answer any questions they might have about the work process.

A typical day at work would consist of me clocking in on a time clock, the maintenance and operation of a juice filler machine and all its components throughout the day, and then punching out on the aforementioned time clock.

What I learned was how to work hard and not ask any questions.

Management is just that, as long as the supervisors are aware that your performing your duties to the best of your abilities, then there wont be any problems.

co workers basically just keep to themselves and do their jobs.

Long ours, no days off.

The best part of the job was  just being able to go into work and say that I have a job and that's about it.

Lack of HR support
No guidance whatsoever 
They don’t care to change or improve their processes 
The lab environment is TOXIC
QA management is genuinely the worst to communicate with
They posted my position without notifying me because I made a comment on how I wanted to relocate. No conversation was had prior to posting. That’s extremely unprofessional. 
when I was let go, they didn’t really give me a valid reason. Accept for, you lack attention to detail “because a hold tag was placed upside down” and “you asked to be paid OT for working weekends” 


This company has very little qualified management the people that are in management positions our people that we're good at their jobs and moved up to supervisor or manager position so the management is highly under qualified when it comes to dealing with people making solid managerial decisions which leads to the workers being blamed for things that management should have taken care of which is why this company is a revolving door for employees they fire people to save their own skin

For a company that has been around for a while it lacked manufacturing practices. No training program to evaluate employees.   No safety or PPE training. Operators foaming equipment without gloves and safety glasses for expample.  Supervisor constantly swearing at employees.  Very negative environment.  Within the first 3 weeks of me being there 2 key maintenance technicians and a QC technician quit. Upper Management didn't seem to care.  Did not like being questioned or to be offer improvement ideas.

If you have a family this place is not for you they want you there all the time. At first they play as your friend but after their true colors come out. Had a death in the family they told me I had to come to work told them I get time off by law they gave me one day off with out pay. Management don't know what they are doing and hide the truth from corporate. I was a lead and was told to do this every time corporate people would come out.

Slimy, abusive upper management sets the tone at Gregory. Decent people do not stay. Lack of proper training and GMP’s. Machine operators do not need to speak English, which makes communication and documentation quite a challenge. On the plus side, with such an enormous turnover rate you can get overtime pay out the wahzoo!

Schedule production and over see all.
I learned the process of producing juice. Management micro manages every aspect of the operation. My workers and co-workers have great talents and personality. It makes going to work tolerable.
The hardest part of the job is to convince upper management a better solution to a problem, 9 times out of 10.
The most enjoyable is seeing your hard work and dedication pay off.
